Has trapshootlng reached out Its hand
and taken n Arm grip on the Pennsyl
vania sportsman? Well to make the
answer worth while a few facts should
prove enlightening
The Interstate Association, nn organ
ization for the encouragement of shoot
ing. In Its annual session held recently
nt Jersey City reported that out of n
total numbered of 3M registered tourna
ments held In the United States this year
the average attendance was 4.6 SO for
amateurs nnd 6 IS for professional gun
ners. The total number of targets trapped
aggregated approximately E.OCO.OTO bluo
rocks. Thl.s means that H.600 targets or
moie went soaring In the air to meet
more or less their fate at tho hands of
the shooter. Theso facts came direct
from Secretary Heed Shaner In his yearly
report.
Pennsjlvanla contributed of this gross
number of tourneys, tho highest amount
of registered mutches, 39 In all, six better
than the nearest itvnl Illinois. New
Jeiscv held live big shoots, while tho
State of Delaware gavn hut three.
In the Keystone Stnto nearly 430,000 clay
targets were trapped. This was not the
largest number of targets released from
the machines, however. In the Interstate
Association, for Illinois led In this re
spect, tho Westerners shooting at 668,275
Inanimate birds. Pennsylvania had nn
average attendance at Its matches
48 15-19 men on the firing line that were
amnteurs and 5 12-19 representing "pro
fessionals." Philadelphia nnd vicinity at present
boast of a number of shooting club, par
ticularly this year, for It Is safe to say
that upward of 20 clubs arc found, card
ing weekly and monthly competitions.
It Is tho general belief that there are
more than 3.000.000 gunning devotees In
tho United States Severnl leagues hold
the shooters In concert during the winter
months In this Stnte, of which many can
hold their own against the country's best
marksmen

The CHALMERS PALANQUIN is not a Touring Car
onto which you can fit a temporary top which is guaranteed
not to rattle louder than a strong man can talk. It is an ex
quisitety appointed, electric-lighted seven-passenger Limou
sine, from which you may quickly and easilj' remove the top
and convert your machine into an open Touring Car.
The two bodies fit together as snugly as a tube hugs the
inside of the casing. They were not made by different de
signers and left to the buyer to join together. They were
both made by the same master body builder and they are
mated mechanically and artistically. The top melts into the
lines of the touring body as smoothly as the hood blends into
the curves of the cowl.
In the Far East, whence the Chalmers Company borrowed
the name, Palanquin means ease, comfort and protection from
the elements.
The traditions of this most ancient of closed conveyances
have been carried out in the Chalmers Palanquin of the twen
tieth century, and to the royal vehicle of Old India has been
added speed, power and endurance.
But it was not merely the name which liie Chalmers Company

borrowed from the civilization which has endured so many
centuries. It was also the fundamental principle of economy.
The Palanquin to the American car owner means the saving
of hundreds of dollars, without the least sacrifice of style.
Above all of its other features and advantages the Chalmers
Palanquin is practical. The idea of a twin-body car which may
be turned from a touring to a fully encjosed vehicle in a jiffy
and without excessive cost or the aid Of experts appeals to the
man or woman who has attempted to maintain two complete
bodies for one chassis.
To those who regard appearances first and demand a ear
which is tailored to the hour, the Chalmers Palanquin is the
ideal model.
The windows, of French plate, are wide ; the cushions,
deep and roomy ; the doors open completely ; the interior light
ing is perfect; the coach work is equal to that on a)iy Ameri
can car made, regardless of price; the frame is taperell to make
the Palanquin an easy car to turn in the narrow streets of the
large cities, and when under speed, the car not only holds the
road on perfect balance, but also holds the attention of every
passing pedestrian and car owner.
